5 cowgirls strut their moves with Alan Jackson line dance

Country music and line dancing seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly. But, line dancing originally was danced to folk music. Which bloomed the style called contra dancing where dancers form two parallel lines while everyone moves in sequence and switching dance partners down the line.

It can definitely be difficult to get the hang of especially if you’re trying to mirror all of the other dancers around you.

Like most dances, line dancing has a certain number of beats but that doesn’t mean you’re tapping your feet to every beat. You’ll notice in this dance that every move to the left or right is also a movement to the beat.

The front and center girl who led the whole dance would be a wonderful person to follow with these tricky moves.
